the state aolsliery.
Col. Byrd will hive to assume
praetically all of the datiec es
the eflice of adjutant general,
because of the indisposition of
Gen. J. Mclntosh Kell. Bet he

appointed, and that of assistant

To Conduct a Thorough in
vestigation,
Washington, Dae. 31.—‘The
War Department is going into
the “embalmed beef’' scandal,
A board of officer* has been ap-r
pointed to meet Imre Jan. 1 to
determine whether bad beef was
famished to the army; whether
it was chemieally treated; what
pr portion of it wa* unfit for
use, and how 300,000 pounds
were lost.
At this morning’s session of
the War Investigating Commis
sion it was announced that no
witnesses will be examined to
day. After a shert executive
session the eommissien ad
join tied until Tuesday.
A report from Mijor W. If.
Daly, Chief Surgeon, U. S. V.,
to the Adjutant General on the
inspections he mad* of the
camps and troopships at Tampa,
Jacksonville, Chickamaug* a: d
Porto Rico, which General Miles
read during his testimony, was
made public by the commission.
Vlnior Daly states that h* found
th* fresh beef to be apparently
preserved with secret chemieals
which were injected in quanti
ties likely to be hurtful to the
health of the consumer. The
meat on th* Panama, he said,
was unpalatable, and had to be
thrown overboard, the 250 con
valescents being without fresh
beef.
The report concludes : “Be
lieving that the Commissary
Department has been imposed
upon by the misdirected com
iHtrcial spirit of persons furnish
ing fiesh beef, I respectfully
recemmond that the matter be
investigated by experts.”
